Our theme for April is nature.
The journaling reads:
While I like almost every single animal, I have a soft spot for penguins. I cannot even tell you why. There’s something about these animals that makes me happy.
Maybe it’s that they mate for life or that they make great parents. Maybe it’s that they are incredibly cute. Maybe it’s the way they glide in the water and waddle on land. I honestly don’t know why they make me feel so giddy.
I just know that they do.
Whenever we visit a zoo, I first checkout the penguins. My favorite is the Central Park Zoo in New York City. Even though it’s indoors and you can’t take any photos that don’t come out blurry, I love watching the penguins there. They just look happy to me.
One of my biggest dreams is to get to visit Antarctica one day and get to see these creatures close-up. I love the idea of meeting them on their turf.
You really don’t need to go that far.
We have penguins in Cape Town, I know you can see them at Boulders beach and at Robben Island.
Did I mention you’re welcome to come and visit me too?
My son has a thing for penguins. When he was 20 and moved from Arizona to South Carolina he brought his favorite stuffed penguin on the plane with him as carry on because he didn’t trust the movers or the airline. It still sits on his dresser in his room. He is now 24. The girl he marries will just have to make room for it!
